3 weeks after giving birth now my tummy still hasnt went down, is still pretty soreand my blood is still quite red. The doctor came out to see me as he was a bit concerned. Turns out they have left some placenta tissue in me. Nice of them to do so!

He says that ts nothing to worry about and he has given me some really huge pills to take for a month. Cant help but being a little worried. I thought they checked thins like this in the hospital.

Anyone else had this problem before?

typical NHS, lets hope the tablets do the trick hun.

They botched one of my D&C's up and I nearly died, then it turned out they thought I may had had a twin pregnancy but 1 one left in the fallopian tube, after a internal scan proved that not a twin pregnancy they just said "must of left some debris behind, it'll come out with your period" thought the point of a D&C was to clear you out

anyway hope it clears up quickly

Hiya

Just read your post and i think you should go back to your doc, because i know that if you have a retained placenta it can cos toxic shock syndrome, and i think but not completly sure that the symptoms are pain in your abdomen and your temp would shoot up, but i would def ask for a second opinion just incase.
Hope you feel better soon
